A sword

The next morning, Lance got up early. Good habits make his life very regular. However, he got up a little earlier than usual, because he rarely dreamed last night. Perhaps it was caused by seeing his old friends during the day. As the saying goes, he had thoughts and dreams at night. Of course, he also called him to get up early with a ticking sound different from usual.

After many days of summer, the heat finally ushered in the rain, and the ticking sound fell outside the house, adding a cool summer morning.

I came to the inner courtyard with an umbrella and finished breakfast. As always, it was empty. However, Lance noticed a little difference this morning. The inner courtyard is full of beautiful flowers and trees, and high-end stone tables and chairs stay quietly in the pavilion in the garden. In the usual morning, it is always full of the freshness of vegetation and the fragrance of flowers and plants, but this morning it is full of a strong smell of magic potions. Even though it has been drizzling, it has not diluted much.

Lance shook his head with a smile and judged a possibility. There is only one magician in the inner courtyard, and only the magician will use various magic potions to carry out experiments. Then it can only prove that his father Quinn Rosil must have just finished a huge magic experiment. Of course, the experiment must be carried out in the magic laboratory, and there is no possibility of this experiment. And the smell of the strong potion inhaling the mouth and nose told Lance that his father Quinn had just left here for a very short time.

Thinking of this, Lance was a little helpless. He obviously had breakfast here, but he didn't see himself. His father must have sensed his arrival and left early. It seems that some knots are still not so easy to untie, Lance thought. But he is not discouraged. After all, after a rebirth, his mind is much more mature than his previous life, and he can also look at problems from another perspective. He believes that he will slowly repair the relationship between them in time.

......

During a day off on weekends, Lance usually reduces his training, and today's rain is colorful, so it doesn't make much sense to practice martial arts and quench fighting spirit in the courtyard. After all, the fighting atmosphere is hot and the rain is cold. In the current state, there are not many benefits from training in the rain, but it may hurt the lungs.

So he gave himself a day off. Of course, it's just a holiday for the body, and the brain can't be idle. He took out the college's "Wu" and the martial arts book given to him by Arus' tutor to carefully review and read. These two books collect a lot of martial arts common sense and the experience of predecessors. Whether it is reviewing or reading new content, it is also the key to the progress of martial arts.

......

Wokind Chamber of Commerce, the beautiful maids are busy with their hands and feet, and their focus is on the girl standing in front of the floor mirror looking at them.

The long golden hair was coiled on the top of her head, and the exquisite silver hair card was pinned between her hair, adding a beauty. The luxurious evening dress was worn on her without a trace of pride and luxury, but only perfection. The tall and plump figure is displayed at this time, and with an angelic face, even women can't help liking it when they see it. She is Wokand's eldest daughter, Agaline...

"Well, Miss, you are really beautiful today!" A lively girl jumped around Garlene and said. It was the little maid Boone who once appeared in Victor's Tavern.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Looking at Ai Jialin's words without replying, she just stared at the mirror and asked puzzledly.

"Oh... you don't understand Booney..." Ai Jialin blinked her eyes and sighed. I just think all this today is ridiculous. Once I thought that the political marriage that those poor aristocratic girls were forced to accept was just a distant story. They married men who didn't love themselves and slowly grew old alone in loneliness. They never thought that it would suddenly happen to themselves..."

"However, miss, not every political marriage is a failure, and there are still people who really love each other. Look, the general Ludi carefully selected by the master is the best in both appearance and family background, and I heard that he is also very gentle.

"Silly girl, every noble girl will hear these words when she is introduced to her fiance, but she still has to wait until she has experienced it herself to understand. Besides, I don't care about what's going on. My father has never mentioned marriage to me, but yesterday he called me back and told me about this matter so abruptly. I don't believe it if the other party's family did not take the initiative to my father. A Garlin pouted. In the past, others cried to her for help when they had problems, and she always listened gently and quietly and helped them as much as possible, so Ai Jialin had a good reputation among the nobles. The girls liked her and the boys loved her. However, now that the problem has come to her, she finally can't stay calm, and now she looks very pitiful.

"Oh, so that's it?" Benny's eyes widened and nodded as if he didn't understand. What if this General Ludi is really good?

"I don't know..." Agaline shook her head, and then she thought about it, looked at Booney seriously and said, "But I'm sure that I hate him now."

"Well, I hate him. Why do you hate him?"

"Because I feel that the other party should be forcing my father and forcing me... There have been a lot of troubles in the family in recent years. My father is very anxious to deal with it, and I can feel that he is a little powerless. In the past two years, Marshal Barrick and his father began to get closer and gave some help. I don't know whether the marriage request was made by the marshal or his son Ludi. Anyway, I don't like this kind of behavior very much. If he respects me and wants to take care of me, he should at least contact him for a while and think about something else. The other party directly made such a request, as if we can only agree to their request in our current situation, and did not respect me at all. Even at the beginning, it was like this. How can we count on their good in the future?

"Ah... So that's it. What should I do, Miss?" When Bonnie heard this, she finally understood and followed the pathetic way.

"Let's go one step at a time. My father has promised me that I can slow down first. Let me meet General Ludi today. If I really don't want to accept it, as long as I can practice in the college and reach the peak of a senior magician or the realm of a great swordsman, these problems can be solved.

"Wow... That's okay. That lady must cheer in the college." The little maid Boone was relieved to hear this and patted her chest.

While the master and servant were chatting, the maids around were still busy combing Ai Jialin's hair, putting on makeup, tying her waist, etc...

......

After taking a nap, Lance read the book Wu again. Lance was deeply inspired by some fighting knocks on the door. He was reading with a book in his left hand in the room, and his right hand changed gestures from time to time, while the fighting light loomed between his fingers...

After reading, Lance sighed what endless learning is. Even with his rich knowledge, he can gain something again after reading the basic skills of the college and innovate with what he has learned. During the whole day of study, he found some tips and practical luck skills that can save fighting spirit in battle.

pushed the door and went out. It was already evening. After a day of light rain, the rain finally stopped. Lance stretched out and walked out of the door of Rosier's mansion. He is not going to eat at home tonight. When he came to the street and looked at it, he unconsciously walked far away. Lance looked up and walked to Bekalong Street, which is located in the center of the imperial capital. This street is also very famous, not only because of its prosperity, but also because the most famous pub Tulip Tavern in the imperial capital, is located here.

Lance was stunned. He didn't expect that he had come here unconsciously. Yesterday, I drank at the same table with Garlene and Betsy here. When he left, he suddenly saw his old friend for ten years, which left a deep impression on him. This time, no one invited him to come by himself.

At that time, Lance didn't think much about it, so he walked into the pub. Today, he is not wearing the college uniform, so the welcome guests who were scared by him yesterday did not recognize anyone. He just politely introduced Lance into the pub and sat in the lobby on the first floor of the pub because he had no special requirements.

Because of habits, every time Lance comes to the pub, he is used to order a stew, a small roast chicken and a pot of wine. This is a habit he once developed in the temple. Every time after successfully completing the task, I will find a pub with the team members to have a meal and relax.

......

......

Tulip pub, three floors, in the Sephora private room...

"Hahaha, Commander Xixi is really on time!" A loud laugh sounded, and then a big round-faced man walked into the room, with a beautiful young woman.

"Chairman of the Circle, you are here." Xixi, the knight sitting in the temple, saw someone get up and perform a knight's salute, and the two team members behind him also got up together to salute.

"Well, how many of you are satisfied with yesterday's dinner?"

"We are very satisfied and thank you for your hospitality. In fact, after yesterday's meal, we have checked the mahogany and fine steel you want to exchange with us. The quality is of top quality. We can officially start cooperation. You don't have to hold a banquet again today.

"Hahaha, it's naturally top quality. Although you are just a small task this time, the mahogany and fine steel provided to the temple are naturally top-quality, otherwise the magic wand made of peach wood and the knight sword made of fine steel will be greatly reduced. I can't afford this crime.

He rubbed his stomach and walked into the box and continued: "I saw you for the first time yesterday, just to talk about business, lest there was no hospitality. Today, on our wine table, regardless of business, we only talk about friendship, and we must satisfy several people. And after all, some services are difficult to get in place on the second floor. Today, I specially booked a private room on the third floor, and there are many unexpected good things..."

Huh? Damn, why hasn't the waiter come yet? He said to Xi and others with spitting, but he didn't see the waiter of the pub come to entertain him for a long time, and he suddenly became angry.

After shouting a few times, no one came in. He was suddenly a little embarrassed. Just now, he was still talking about to let several knights enjoy it, but it was a little embarrassing to encounter this kind of thing at this time. In fact, it can't be blamed for the poor service of the pub. After all, there are too many guests and it is difficult to be busy.

Calling the clerk for a long time was fruitless, and the president of the Emperor Chamber of Commerce had to do it himself. He took the beauty beside him to the door and found that there was indeed no waiter on this floor. Occasionally, I can see a few of them running between the corridors and sweating between the private rooms.

Seeing this scene, he shook his head helplessly and said to the beauty beside him, "Wan'er, please go there and call the waiter upstairs."

"Well, okay." Ruth smiled charmingly and turned away.

"Yes, wait a minute." The circle poked his head out of the door and said, "Let the waiter bring up the roster."

"Well, I see." Ruth Wan, who was originally smiling with charming eyes, immediately wrinkled her nose and hummed when she heard the three words of the roster. Then he turned around and closed the door.

"Oh! Baby, you caught my face!" The circle suddenly shouted. In fact, the door of the box room was still open. When Ruth Wan turned around and pulled the door, he had time to shrink back. I just don't know whether his reaction speed was too slow or his face was so big that he was caught.

"Oh, I'm sorry, honey." Ruth Wan turned around when she heard the pain: "Huh..." "Ha ha, are you all right?" The anger in his heart when he saw him rubbing his big round face suddenly subsided and asked with a smile.

"It's okay. All right, you go quickly." The circle waved his hand and then returned to the house.

'Clip into his face...' Xixi tried to control his face to prevent it from twitching. Although the temple knights were generally silent and calm, he didn't enter the palace for a long time, and he was only a 17-year-old young man at this time. He didn't have enough to practice his mind. At this time, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about the scene just now. However, as a chivalry, he pays great attention to his behavior. It is very undesirable to laugh at other people's big faces, so at this time, he is enduring it very hard, and his face is twitching...

The circle did not notice the hard expressions of several temple knights. After closing the door, he walked back to his seat and said to himself, "I like to enjoy the most, and the best enjoyment is nothing more than wine, beauty and delicious food. There is a saying that you really don't believe it. In fact, my fighting spirit was also good, but I was too greedy. His arms and legs did not eat thicker, and his strength did not become greater. Instead, his stomach bulged and his face became round. Later, I thought about it. It was too painful to practice martial arts. It's better to do a good job in business and enjoy the pleasure of life.

Xixi people don't know what to say, after all, these words are contrary to their single-minded people.

"Ha ha, casually, everyone has their own pursuits. I don't want you to learn from me." Looking at the young knights in front of him, he couldn't help laughing, and then he waved his hand and said, "But blind hard work is not good. Sometimes proper relaxation will make you go further."

"Hmm?" Xixi's eyes lit up. The fat man talked nonsense for a long time, but only the last sentence brightened his eyes. What you said is that the predecessors of the temple also taught us.

"Well, yes..." "Yes..." The other two knights also said, and they were deeply convinced of this sentence. Just now, the president of the Rich Chamber of Commerce talked about pleasure and were speechless. At this moment, several knights who turned to the topic of practice suddenly became interested.

"Haha, you also agree, that's good!" Quan laughed and said that he was just about to continue talking when there was a knock on the door, and then the door of the box was pushed open. Ruth Wan and a waiter came in.
